    I think that Toshiba doesn't use MXM standard for graphic cards in their laptops, they have their own proprietary standard. In this case You have no option of video card upgrade. I might be wrong though.

    PS.
    It would be very helpful, if You posted the exact model name of Your laptop, so we could check it's specifications online. You could also try asking in Toshiba forum.
